But that's another complaint for another day.) (And yet, weirdly, there are still bizarre gaps. Sure, I could happily read the same book a dozen times in a row, but sooner or later you want something new.Ī world in which I could find as many books as I like literally at the touch of my fingertips - unbelievable. I read fast, we never could keep a library card (or rather, we could never remember to return the books, so same diff), I had no friends, and so I always needed more books to read.

If you fill one of those prompts and want to let me know, please be clear that it's from last year :) You can also comment or PM me if I made an error somewhere and I'll fix it ASAP.Īs a reminder, last year's post can be found here. The easiest way to do that is to leave a comment here with the prompt text exactly as written so I can quickly find it and delete it. I appreciate people letting me know that prompts have been claimed. You can ask my sister, she'll confirm that! So it was easier to do it this way rather than try to figure out if I could set up a Googledoc where some people could edit but all people could tag.
I don't even drink new flavors of tea with the pandemic. I decided to do it this way again because honestly, my ability for new things is sapped this year.
